Title: Spring Snow goose Hunting
Post by: crow360 on January 26, 2014, 04:45:32 PM
I am looking to do some spring snow goose hunting and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on where and when to go? I am thinking South Dakota or Missouri for a conservation hunt. Looking for advice on guides and maybe if you can do it on your own. Any help would be great. Thanks

What is a conservation hunt? I read something about not having a shell limit for your shotgun during conservation hunts, but I don't what that means, and couldn't find anything in the WDFW regulations about them. Is it just an extra season that WDFW doesn't let us participate in?  :dunno:

There is a spring/late winter if you ask me hunt in Klamath Falls Oregon that puts you on snows and Specks if you go through Roe Outfitters but book now it's only open a few weeks and a close drive from our neck of the woods here in Washington I believe it's 250.00 a day

I went up to Saskatchewan for it last year, it was awesome. 20/snows a day, lots of shooting. It's a fun hunt, definitlely a bucket list hunt.

i did the klamath falls hunt last year. was mainly a spec hunt. we had a few bonus snows, but 90% were specs. was a fun hunt for the most part. only thing kinda threw me was the fact they had hunted the same blind 25 days straight or something like that. we still had our shots and did well, but it was by no means a sure thing. the guides did a great job and worked hard at getting us birds, just had to take longer shots and make the ones we did get count. and limit was 4 a day on specs.

Looking real hard at a North Dakota trip this spring to shoot snows.  Still working out the details.

We are going to go March 11-13 in Mound City, Missouri for the depredation hunt.  Hopefully it will be a good one.  I think we have about 10 guys lined up, so it might be a good firing squad kind of day.  The guide said we should bring a case of shells each.  Might be a sore shoulder.

Stay away from Premeir Flight Goosegrinders.com. His website looks good but it is a hoax.  Guides truck was broken so we could only hunt field he could walk to from town. We offered to help move set to an area the birds were working but they declined.  Website said full body dekes around kill hole but we were hunting over 100% rags.  Some of his other guides we met got kicked out of the field they had started the day in etc etc.
